Advertisement extraordinary.  Great George and patriot Pitt
for ever sing.  This is to certify all whom it may concern,
in Europe, Asia, Africa or America, that all rejoicings and
exhibitions of joy throughout this continent on occasion of
the repeal of the stamp act, be they general illuminations,
ringing of bells, bonfires, firing of cannon, or other
fireworks, will be merely in duty and loyalty to our most
gracious sovereign, in respect, love, and gratitude to his
wise and patriotic ministry, and in honor of the immortal
Pitt, the illustrious five, and all those and those only,who
are and were for repealing that detestable act as
unconstitutional, and in the highest triumph over and
contempt of, an infernal, atheistical, popish, Jacobite and
Tory crew on both sides the Atlantic, who by the provident
of Almighty God, are totally, and 'tis to be hoped
everlastingly frustrated in their diabolical purposes toward
Great Britain and her colonies.  P.S.  All printers
throughout this continent are desired to publish this
advertisement.
